About Mr Barton
Craig Barton loves teaching, doing, speaking and thinking about mathematics. He taught maths in secondary schools for 15 years, and was TES Maths Adviser for 10 years. He is now the Chief Academic Officer at Eedi.
Craig is the author of many best-selling books, including How I wish I’d taught maths, Reflect, Expect, Check, Explain and the Tips for Teachers guide to… series. He hosts the Mr Barton Maths podcast and is the creator of far too many websites.
In 2020, he was appointed as a Visiting Fellow at the Mathematics Education Centre at the University of Loughborough. Craig has been lucky enough to teach maths and work with teachers and students all over the world.
His proudest achievements: convincing Kate to marry him (and stay married), and being the father to his wonderful boys, Isaac and Jacob.
